8.5 x 11 x 14" Art Deco lamp by Italian master, Professor Eugenio Pattarino, famous for his terracotta sculpture. His inimitable style recalls fellow Italians, Gambone and Fantoni. The lamp is decorated with scenes from Mardi Gras featuring colorful characters rendered in Pattarino's trademark precise detail and hand-painted, high-key glazes.

Famous 20th century ceramicist Eugenio Pattarino--1885-1971-his works were passed out by the Vatican as gifts to famous visitors like JFK--Andre Gide, Sarte and Edith Piaf were some the more famous who collected his work-most Pattarinos in the US were brought in by well-healed American tourists who bought them in Florence-- a large 8 foot Madonna by Pattarino is in a chapel in Lady of Angel Cathedral in Los Angeles----for years Pattarinos sculptures were marketed from a shop in Florence on the shoulder of the river Arno--several years ago shop was washed away in a flood along with records, sculptures and any forms--so Pattarinos sculptures have become rarer and rarer--this finely detailed 14" inch sculpture is glazed terra cotta and is signed- perfect condition--has great color and movement. Signed by Prof. Eugenio Pattarino.
